I'm a Mississippian who was in New Orleans during Cao's election. Frankly, I didn't even know he was running and had forgotten about the congressional election. (Louisiana tends to schedule their elections on Saturday.) I did see Cao signs everywhere especially in the CBD and the Garden District. I wouldn't ascribe his election to any national trends. His opponent was the widely mocked and disgraced William Jefferson. Many New Orleanians, including Democrats, voted for Cao just to be rid of Jefferson. Maybe it bucks up morale to claim that Saxby's and Cao's wins portend something good for the GOP. However, we won't really have a good national sense of things until 2010.

The GOP needs new blood and I'm tired of seeing the same old loser faces. I’m still in a “throw all the bums out” mood. The GOP needs new blood and I’m tired of seeing the same old loser faces.

I'm here in Georgia. Saxby was being taught a lesson, agree with him or not, and the base was heard. Duncan raises the dollars and the field is close to unimpressive - so I have no opinion either way. I do wonder however if the narrative becomes "change" again only to haunt Duncan.
